Who Here Works For NASA

Ah yes, because every developer's first instinct when seeing "NASA needs to establish lunar time" is thinking: "Finally! A chance to implement datetime.moon and watch it break absolutely everything!" Just imagine the Stack Overflow questions: "Why is my lunar microservice 2.8 seconds behind Earth production?" or "Help! My app shows different times depending on which side of the moon the user is on!" The real fun begins when some junior dev accidentally uses lunar timestamps for Earth transactions and suddenly everyone's Prime delivery is scheduled to arrive in 29.5 Earth days. Classic.

See You In Six Months

The eternal time bomb of software development strikes again! This poor developer just "fixed" the tests broken by Daylight Savings Time by subtracting an hour from the expected results. Meanwhile, his hippie colleague is horrified because the actual solution was converting everything to UTC and making the tests timezone-aware. This is the coding equivalent of putting duct tape on a leaking nuclear reactor. Sure, the tests pass today, but in six months when DST changes again? Complete meltdown. The developer will be long gone, leaving behind a legacy of technical debt and confused Stack Overflow questions.
